The bible more directly endorses war rape:

Deuteronomy 21:10-14 ESV

When you go out to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive, and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife, and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails. And she shall take off the clothes in which she was captured and shall remain in your house and lament her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

No, that's history. Back then taking defeated enemies as slaves was pretty much standard. And with the slavery part of course there also came the rape part. That was how wars were done for the vast majority of human history.

Yes, but it's still ridiculous.

In today's, especially western, point of view? Sure. But luckily there really aren't Christians anymore who actually do this today.

then why are millions of people still using an incredibly outdated book as a "source" of their "morality"

[–] Syndic@feddit.de 0 points 6 months ago

That's a complete different question. But from the historical context the stuff in the Bible does make sense. After all it's written by people living in this reality.
